.searched

was cruising on the highway at about 50-60. then when im about to get off the exit the slip and vdc light come on as i slow down all lights go on. soon as i pulled over and came to a complete stop, car stalled.

tried starting it, all it did was crank really fast but would not start. checked all the fluids all mechanical everything is fine.

read ecu codes and came up with

exhaust valve control solenoid circuit control bank 1+2cmpcamshaft position sensora circuit bank 2

so i had infiniti roadside come get it. that was actually the best infiniti experience ive ever had with anything from infiniti. called them took my info gave location tow truck came in 10 mins everything was covered..so far.

so just went to the dealer this morning, and the service manager was the only one available can i help u, i told him who i was. and hes like what happened so i told him. he said something in the engine broke, either the camshaft or timing. so he just had me sign the paperwork and on it i saw had written down has intake and exhaust and grounding wires. once they lift the car they will find the cats and the pulley. and it said that camshaft or timing will not spin.

i had the camshaft position sensors replaced 4 or 5 times already. they kept going bad. or i kept breaking it but i dont know how.

so he said they are just waiting on the techs to get back to them to see what to do.

so my guess is the timing belt went.

i know the first thing they come up with is HI ITS NOT WARRANTIED. from what i know the pulley cranks the serpentine belt so nothing that i did to the car would affect the timing belt.

any help and suggestions from anyone. thanks in advance

$5 says the HFCs broke up and took your engine out. If they pull the plugs I would not be surprised to see at least one smashed. It would not be the first or third time I have seen this.

I remember when you got those a while back we were involved in a lengthy discussion about the potential ramifications of removing such a device.

I wish you all the best but it's not looking good.
